Complete Sheets ( 10 sets) of 2008 Regional Opera Series-Taiwanese Puppet (The Scholar Knight of Yunjhou) Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.
Issue date: Feb,04. 2008.
The designs of the 4 stamps follow:
1. Shih Yan-wun: A native of Yunjhou, Shih was both an accomplished scholar and a warrior. Honorably saving people from danger and helping the weak, he was known as the Scholar Knight. Loyal to the emperor, Shih was framed by a treacherous court official and banished to the frontier. Fortunately, with help of other knight-errants and lady friends, he survived.
2. Dragon Lady of the Bitter Sea: Originally the third princess of Tatarstan, she was displaced by a palace coup and fled to seek help. She transformed herself into Dragon Lady of the Bitter Sea and then went to China, where she met Shih Yan-wun and became his best friend.
3. Mirror Man: The son of the headless general of Jiaojhih (what is today northern Vietnam), Mirror Man was also known as “the spirit of Jiaojhih.” Because his father died fighting Shih Yan-wun’s father, he regarded Shih as his archenemy and had vowed to kill him.
4. Old Oddball: A renowned medical doctor, Old Oddball was also a great musician. His music tamed a primal beast as well as the heart of the little King Kong, and the two became great friends despite the difference in their ages.
